AB  - For patients with decompensated cirrhosis, health maintenance is critical to improve survival rates and prevent adverse outcomes. We review the primary care management of cirrhosis and its complications, such as esophageal varices, hepatocellular carcinoma, and chemical or medication exposures. We also highlight specific immunizations and lifestyle modifications to prevent decompensation, and we summarize current screening guidelines.
